Don't do it, you'll wind up as fixated as me 'n Jack :0
Someone needs to re-do Garrow's recently published (2012) distribution of pit numbers by county (which he admits is based on a weekend on tinternet!) - still makes it look like they're all in East Anglia, some of his biggest spots plonked on North and East Yorkshire and Northumberland (which should have them) would change the national dynamic a bit. A more complete coverage would be good too (he failed to get info for quite a lot of counties), would highlight oddities like the very small number found in West Yorkshire despite the amount of large-area development there over the last 20 yeras
